I like him better in RDR1. Don't get me wrong Gabriel Sloyer did an amazing job playing him in RDR2 but to me it didn't feel like the same Javier we were so used to in the first game. The prequel's plot also played a huge part in that but it suits him more as a villain rather than a companion that barely showed up in most of the missions. He should have had more character development rather than blindly siding with Dutch at the end, not to mention we don't get to know what happens with him after Chapter 6 and how he escapes to Mexico. I mean he's never seen in the Epilogue.
